Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
We can reward Najib, by making sure none of the MIC candidates win, better still if they lose their deposit. Quigonbond:
The problem with Perkasa vice-president Zulkifli Noordin is that he
looks like and talks like a brute. Even when he apologises, you can't
help but think there is simply an ulterior motive. His words are
cutting and hurtful, and as a litigator, he minces no words. Compared
with Perkasa chief Ibrahim Ali, although Ibrahim said hurtful things
too, he always backs down and justifies his emotions getting the better
of him - and after a while, people just treat him like a clown. Not with Zul. Zul is dangerous. He is worse than the Australian product called Pauline Hanson. Incumbent
PM Najib Razak just scored an own goal again with his remark that
Indians are kissing Zulkifli. I can imagine that will infuriate a lot of
Indians. He can kiss goodbye to Indians returning to BN fold. Tehachapi:
Are there no capable leaders other than Zul to take care of Indian
welfare? For Najib to say that Zul is the best person for this job
smacks of arrogance and contempt. First, Zul has no love for
Indians or Hinduism. He is ignorance about the spirituality and deep
meanings of Hinduism and yet a great many Indian compatriots are
adherents of Hinduism. Second, to serve the Indians well in this
country, you need to have the humility of a servant. Does Zul show any
of these admirable attributes? Ferdtan: There are over 500 comments on this article - I believe this is one of the records for Malaysiakini. This shows Najib has made a big mistake for selecting Perkasa's Zulkifli Noordin to stand as the BN candidate in Shah Alam. This may result in BN losing votes in nearby areas around Shah Alam where Indian voters are sizable.
The
Indian voters in Shah Alam (14%) and the surrounding areas are: N40
Kota Amggerik (11.9%), N41 Batu Tiga (17%), P109 Kapar (14.4%), N42 Meru
(12.4%), N43 Sementa (25.7%), N44 Sungai Pinang (5.9%), P110 Klang
(19.8%), N46 Pelabuhan Klang (18.4%), N47 Pandamaran (16.2%), N48 Kota
Alam Shah (25.2%), P111 Kota Raja (29.5%), N49 Seri Andalas (35.5%), and
N50 Sri Muda (22.5%).
The Indians nearby will punish BN for their arrogance of putting Zul, a known Hindu basher, as its candidate. Najib, in trying to justify the selection of Zul, comes up the most
classic excuses. He said: "There are Indians who have even kissed him
already." Who would do that when he is the one who insulted the
Indians? It is possibly the people from MIC or from the Hindraf's P
Waythamoorthy gang (grateful for the signed memorandum of understanding
by Najib and Umno) who were the ones who kissed Zulkifli. He
added that Zul has vowed to take care of the welfare of Indians and
build temples, schools for the Indians. Would Zul build temples for the
Indians? Why? Is it so that he can make jokes about them again? This is just like putting a paedophile to be in charge of kindergartens. Gerard Lourdesamy: The Indians are giving Zul Nordin the kiss of death before they vote him out come May 5. The
only temples and Tamil schools that this avowed racist and religious
bigot will approve will be in some swamp on the outskirts of Shah Alam
next to a drain or oxidisation pond, away from precious Muslim
sensitivities. Only three weeks ago, he called Indians "keling"
and the ‘Baghavad Gita' as the "keling" holy book. Is that something
that can be forgotten and forgiven given that he keeps repeating such
derogatory and seditious words? Would Malays/Muslims tolerate
similar statements from Indians insulting their religion and forgive so
easily? If Zul wins in Shah Alam it proves that the Malays do not want
peace or harmony and supportextremism. P Dev Anand Pillai: The
Chinese leadership in Singapore promotes the Indians, makes them deputy
PMs, chief justices and gives many more important cabinet positions and
the Indians in Singapore are doing well so much so that our BN-loving
Indians flock to Singapore to work. But unfortunately, when it
comes to the vote, the Indians seem so indecisive and are unable to
think. Ask yourself: Are you any lesser than the Malay? Wake up and
think before you cross the ballot papers. The Indians in Pasir
Gudang have been told to wait for their ICs - perhaps for another 56
years. This is the ‘nambikei', Najib style. Anonymous 007:
I had to support my children through university whereas my colleagues
who are earning the same salary as me, are able to obtain scholarships
for themselves and their children. Then you ask me to vote for
BN? Is this fair? Who are the majority of people who do not pay their
loans? How come? And you ask me to vote for BN?
Whatsup: What a farce. Najib is one of the biggest crooks who promise to stop corruption, not before but after GE13. How could it be possible for him not to steal after having stolen so
much? And now he wants to put a racist and anti-Indian to manage Indian
affairs? If the Indians believe this story, let them support
Hindraf and don't go crying and demanding for justice when this racist
turn the Indians into slaves. I pity you all. Yet again, betrayed by yet
another Indian.
